Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus, a hepatic disease-evaluating method, a hepatic disease-evaluating system, and a hepatic disease-evaluating program and recording medium that calculate an index indicating the degree of hepatic fibrosis from amino acid concentration data to be evaluated based on an index formula and evaluate the disease state of the hepatic disease to be evaluated based on the index value.
- the Fischer ratio " (Leu+Val+Ile) ⁇ (Phe+Tyr)” based on blood amino acid concentration (see Nonpatent Literature 4) or the BTR (branched-chain amino acids and tyrosine ratio) ratio, which is a simplified Fischer ratio, " (Leu+Val+Ile) ⁇ Tyr” is used for diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy in the patient with liver cirrhosis, as an index for use in clinical diagnosis of hepatic disease.
- An object of the present invention which was made to solve the problems above, is to provide a hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus, a hepatic disease-evaluating method, a hepatic disease-evaluating system, and a hepatic disease-evaluating program and a recording medium carrying the same that allow accurate evaluation of the progress of the disease state of hepatic disease and accurate determination, for example, of whether treatment with interferon/ribavirin combination is needed to patients with a hepatic disease.
- Another aspect of the present invention is the hepatic disease-evaluating system, wherein the index is the sum of two fractional expressions; the numerator in one fractional expression is any one of Phe and Tyr and the denominator in the one fractional expression is any one of Val, Leu, and Ile; and the numerator in the other fractional expression is the sum of at least one of Thr, Met and Orn and the denominator of the other fractional expression is the sum of at least one of Pro and Gly.
- hepatic fibrosis of a patient is in the stage of F0, F1, or F2 or in the stage of F3 or F4 more accurately. Specifically, it is also possible to determine whether the hepatic fibrosis of a patient is in the stage of F0, F1, F2 or F3 or in the stage of F4 more accurately.
- an index of the degree of hepatic fibrosis is calculated from previously obtained amino acid concentration data to be evaluated including amino acid concentration values, based on one or more indices (one index or combination of plurality of indices) (step S-1).
- the index is obtained by assigning the amino acid concentration values, based on the one or more indices.
- Data such as defective values and outliers may be removed from the amino acid concentration data before calculation of the index (data filtering.or data editing).
- the index used in step S-1 is a index newly generated by taking clinical need into consideration, and aimed, in particular, at discriminating two groups "F0, F1, or F2" and “F3 or F4" or two groups “F0, F1, F2, or F3” and "F4" in the progressive stages of hepatic fibrosis.
- An amino acid having smaller influence on the sum of Phe and Tyr, the sum of Thr, Met, and Orn, the sum of Val, Leu, and Ile, or the sum of Pro and Gly may be added as the variable in the index used in step S-1.
- the phrase "having smaller influence” means that addition of the amino acid does not deteriorate the determination (discrimination) efficiency of the index.
- the present system the configuration of the hepatic disease-evaluating system according to the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as the present system) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 11 .
- the entire configuration of the present system will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the entire configuration of the present system.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing another example of the entire configuration of the present system.
- the present system includes a hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus 100 which evaluates hepatic disease and client apparatuses 200 as information communication terminal apparatuses which provide the amino acid concentration data to be evaluated that are communicatively connected to each other via a network 300.
- a hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus 100 which evaluates hepatic disease and client apparatuses 200 as information communication terminal apparatuses which provide the amino acid concentration data to be evaluated that are communicatively connected to each other via a network 300.
- the user information file 106a stores information about users (user information).
- FIG. 5 is a chart showing an example of the information stored in the user information file 106a.
- the information stored in the user information file 106a includes user ID (identification) for identifying the user uniquely, user password for authentication of the user, user name, organization ID uniquely identifying the organization of the user, department ID for uniquely identifying the department of the user organization, department name, and electronic mail address of the user that are correlated to each other.
- the index database 106c stores the indices used in the index-calculating part 102g described below.
- FIG. 7 is a chart showing an example of the information stored in the index database 106c. As shown in FIG. 7 , the information stored in the index database 106c includes index number identifying each index uniquely and index of fractional expressions having amino acid concentrations as variables, that are correlated to each other.
- the index file 106d stores the index indicating the degree of hepatic fibrosis calculated in the index-calculating part 102g described below.
- FIG. 8 is a chart showing an example of the information stored in the index file 106d. As shown in FIG. 8 , the information stored in the index file 106d includes subject (sample) number of each subject to be evaluated, index number, and index value that are correlated to each other.
- it may store as needed sound files in the WAVE or AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) Format for transmission to the client apparatuses 200 and image files of still image or motion picture in the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) or MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) format.
- WAVE Wireless Photographic Experts Group
- MPEG2 Motion Picture Experts Group phase 2
- the communication interface 104 allows communication between the hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus 100 and the network 300 (or communication apparatus such as router). Thus, the communication interface 104 has a function to communicate data via a communication line with other terminals.
- the input/output interface 108 is connected to the input device 112 and the output device 114.
- a monitor including home television), a speaker, or a printer may be used as the output device 114 (hereinafter, a monitor may be described as the output device 114).
- a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor functioning as a pointing device together with a mouse may be used as the input device 112.
- the controlling device 102 has an internal memory storing control programs such as OS (Operating System), programs for various processing procedures, and other needed data, and performs information processing for execution of various processings according to these programs.
- the controlling device 102 includes mainly an instruction-analyzing part 102a, a browsing processing part 102b, an authentication-processing part 102c, an electronic mail-generating part 102d, a Web page-generating part 102e, a receiving part 102f, an index-calculating part 102g, a disease state-evaluating part 102h, a result outputting part 102i, and a sending part 102j.
